There is a hole in the bucket

All the ice and snow on the pool this year caused our liner to break and all the water drained out of the pool. The husband has grown tired of the pool up keep and thinks this is a good time to take it down and be done with it. It is a lot of work and an expense to own a pool, but I enjoy it so much. There is nothing more soothing to me than making whirlpools in the pool on a sunny day in my back yard.

We put the pool up about 22 years ago. I think this might be our third liner. He isn't sure the rest of the pool is sturdy enough to put more money into it. He wants it gone. The pool deck needs some work, too, so he would be happy to get rid of it all.

This is one of those issues where we have to come to some compromise or one of us has to give in to the other. He does do all of the maintenance so he does have a point. But I have counter points.

We will see what happens. I suppose this is a silly thing with what is happening all over the world with lately. The world is falling apart and I sit here whining about my swimming pool. But day to day stuff still goes on and decisions have to be made, regardless of how insignificant.
